Woltemade in the European Championship final: title more important than top scorer crown!

In football fever, the focus is on the nation's youth! The heart of the German U21 national team, which made it to the European Championship final, beats in Bratislava. The tournament's star, Nick Woltemade, is on the verge of making history. He is currently leading the goalscoring list at the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship with an incredible six goals, and he would also like to polish up his goal tally in the final against England. Regardless of his personal success, Woltemade emphasizes that the title is the top priority - the team wants to inspire the fans with their fourth U21 European championship title. “We are eager to feel the support of the fans in the final,” he said, according to information from Antenna Unna.

Woltemade stood out with great performances in this tournament. He scored a hat-trick in the first game against Slovenia, making him the eighth player in the history of the U21 tournament to achieve this feat. In addition, his goal in the quarter-finals against Italy secured their place in the semi-finals. In the last group game he was able to take a breather after the team secured victory against England (2-1). The U-national team's savings bank will only work if they play as a unit in the final - this was also made clear by coach Antonio Di Salvo, who praised the passion and quality of his team.

The path to the final

With an impressive tally of six goals in four games, Woltemade has taken his team to the big stage. Particularly noteworthy is his hat trick, which contributed significantly to the 3-0 win against Slovenia. “These are exciting times!” he says. Woltemade sees the U-national team as the “best years” of his career so far. But the boy with great skills wants more: “I hope I can score again in front of national coach Julian Nagelsmann and extend my goal record,” he explained.

But it's not just Woltemade that's causing a stir. Also on the scorer list are Harvey Elliott from England, who ranks behind Woltemade with four goals, and Germany's Nelson Weiper with three goals. It will be exciting to see whether Woltemade can secure another award: If he were the fourth German to win the title in the U21 European Championship top scorers list, he would surpass the previous record of seven goals. This shows that the sporting ambitions are great!

A competitive European Championship

The U21 European Championship, which will be held in Georgia and Romania, has brought a lot of talent to the forefront. Germany's U21 are the defending champions and fought their way to the final with a draw against Israel and subsequent wins against the Czech Republic, England and Italy. It turns out that the mother of all football crises seems to have been overcome for the German national team. With Woltemade in the attack, the team feels well prepared to win the title again. The young star already has several records to set. The list of the best German U21 goalscorers is followed by the chapter for Woltemade. Benjamin Auer currently holds the record with 15 goals in 23 appearances.

The mood in the team is great and the hope for the title is alive. Woltemade and his teammates will do everything they can to win the hearts of German football fans and further cement their place in the history of U21 football. Let's stay tuned to see if the team achieves their big dream while we all keep our fingers crossed!
